I've experienced a dramatic drop-off in coverage over the last month or so. I used to have no problems browsing or running Pandora or Rdio. Now I have to switch to 3G to use the internet at all. For me this happened very suddenly recently.

For the past two months I've noticed a steady decline in service: switched sim cards, switched phone, created a trouble ticket which they closed, then I had problems just getting out simple text messages and today (11-1-13) I did a master reset of my phone to see if that would make any difference. At the store they said it impacts service for 3 to 6 block radius. Do you know how many thousands of people that impacts? We're talking the heart of San Francisco. They refused to speak to me on why this was happening, who it impacts or for how long it may last because they say it's proprietary information.

Sprint is horrible. I can only talk on the phone if I'm on my porch. I can get reception if I am sitting on my couch under the front window, but if I move or try to walk even 5 feet, the call is dropped. I finaly just decided to get a landline.

Since the end of 2010, I have had little to NO recpetion in both my grandma's apartment on Guerrero and family apartment on San Jose Ave near Mission. My dad called Sprint and they said there was a Sprint cell tower on 23rd and Mission, but in both homes calls drop, texts CANNOT be sent or received, and there is ZERO signal! And no matter what kind of phone we use, SanYo Katana, Android, Galaxy S2, there is barely any reception. Not even going outside helps. We were even provided with an Airwave, which is like a mini cell tower for the house and it sometimes works and has helped with the dropped calls, but has not helped with texting problem. I am on a family plan, but as soon the contract is up I AM SWITCHING MY PLAN! All this frustration isn't worth the Unlimited Data.

As of this morning suddenly I have no signal inside my apartment, I have to go out of the building to get a signal. For ten years I had no problem with the signal. Other persons with T-Mobile had this problem, but not those of us with metro pcs. Looks like they are switching metro PCS over to the T-Mobile network. Time to change service provider I guess. I am not going to pay for lousy reception.

Second day no reception on my cell phone. On T-Mobil Rep. advice I changed to the new SIM card and it worked at their store and in the downtown location. Got home, same story, can't use my phone. Chatted with yet the 3rd representative, with a negative outcome - "sorry, the coverage in your area is great!" he told me. I am switching to another company.

Pretty good data and voice around here. No dropped calls or poor data speeds.

Verizon admits there is a dead-zone in my area. Can't hear me now. Here are the results on an iPhone 5 in my place: Verizon: 0-3 bars AT&T: 4-5 bars I can't wait until my contract is over with Verizon to switch back to AT&T. I also miss the ability to use data while on a call that I could do with AT&T. Bottom line: it was a mistake to switch to Verizon.

You'd think in the middle of Noe Valley there would be some signal, but nope. Have to walk 4 blocks in either direction to get 1 bar.

Reception is very good although you might turn a corner and suddenly drop for a second. Are you in any way affiliated with Find Tower mobile app? bit.ly / 1790LbD
